Slow Graphics Performance MacOS High Sierra

Apple support does NOT monitor these forums looking for trends and outstanding issues.

No, Apple does not. And I will not make the assumption that everyone that has lodged complaints here has also sent it through the proper channels.

Dear Reader - if you've made it this far, go to this link and select "Bug" as the Feedback Type: Feedback - macOS - Apple

1. Make sure to include your hardware, you can find the basics by clicking the  icon in the top lefthand corner of your screen and selecting "About This Mac".
2. INCLUDE A LINK TO THIS THREAD.

Hi Everybody ,

i'm here for the same reasons that ParhamS had exposed before.

My mac is very slow since the High Sierra update, from starting the computer to execute simple multi tasks (seems that it's always related to the GPU).

I had done all the "necessary" to solve the problem, the NVRAM and PRAM reset, the reinstallation of High Sierra, nothing changes. That was with an apple employee by phone.

Hope that there is a solution for that. After spending 2600€ in this machine, i start to highly regret the fiability of my device. 😐

Cheers 😎

It maybe an issue that occurs with a kernel task that uses 168 threads, wich seems very very high. here's a caption from my system report

Thanks for you help everybody !

I’m being told that the high Sierra upgrade has permanently overwritten some firmware or something like that without the option of being able to revert.

This is the image of me booting normally.

I can boot in safe mode and it’s clear.

Any further suggestions?

Hi guys, I've been lurking here for few months.

I have mid 2012 MBP 15" with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

10.3.4 update improved the performance significantly, I can no longer see difference between the two GPUs in desktop operations. No lagging when switching screens, or changing tabs in Safari.

Unfortunately the GPU benchmark shows Nvidia GPU is still a bit behind Intel's. Check results here:

Edit: Ah, and the list of tests is short with Nvidia because it crashed on some :/

I'm having pretty much the same issue on my early 2013 Retina MacBook Pro with Nvidia GT650m GPU, the onboard graphics seem fine but the discreet GPU runs so slowly. I assume, as everything was fine for me in 10.12, that it is a driver issue and will be sorted soon.

As it is Photoshop is almost unusable and other apps which should benefit from the discreet GPU run so slowly.

link to my thread I started regarding the GT650m.

GT650m slow performance under 10.13 High Sierra

I'll be posting the etrecheck results later tonight.

For what it's worth, here are the etrecheck results from my early 2013 MacBook Pro with GT650m

kernel task using 168 threads is fine.Mine is using 194 and working great.

Your well protected mac has built-in Virus protection called X-Protect. It does not need a third-party so-called anti-Virus to make a Big Show of reading all your files looking for antique Windows viruses and make your Mac unstable and burn through it resources:

[Désengagé] com.kaspersky.kext.klif (2.2.1d19) [Rechercher]

Also, you have seen what is coming and going on your Mac. It is time to remove the very invasive and trouble-making Little snitch.

Apple's QC leaves much to be desired

NVIDIA is likely at least partly to blame for this problem. They have been unwilling to provide the deep detailed operation of their graphics chips, which has made it impossible for Apple to write new Drivers.

NVIDIA has been "late to the party" as evidenced by your now being able to get newer drivers direct from NVIDIA web site.

¿Where were these "updated" drivers when the software was originally released? The approximate schedule was not a secret, but NVIDIA was not there with updated Drivers or the information to allow Apple to write Drivers.

if privacy is important to you, the first to be removed should be THIS:

Downgrade is completely possible, but it requires a BLANK disk. You MUST have at least one complete Trusted Backup to proceed.

Hi ParhamS,

Sorry to say you are not the only one having this issue.

I have 4 MBP's of various ages and sizes, the 3 with High Sierra are experiencing this. The one with Sierra is not.

Lots of people are seeing experiencing this issue, for example:

Re: macOS High Sierra 10.13 slow graphics after battery sleep

and

Bad graphic performance after sleep

If you Shutdown / Reboot it should run correctly, but if you sleep with only the integrated graphics running, wakeup then I'm seeing the issue about 60% of the time.

(If you put it to sleep with the 2nd card running then I don't believe you'll see the issue)

(MBP 15" 2017 model with Radeon 555 ...)

Safe mode does one pass of Disk repair before it loads, so it can add about five minutes to startup time.

The next Restart after Safe mode, it will rebuild a few system caches, so it will take a little bit longer that usual.

Safe mode loads defaults for everything it can, and loads the minimal set of Apple-only extensions (including NOT loading the display accelerator, which is why screen redraw is quirky and slow). Any changes to preferences you make from Safe Mode will 'stick' in regular mode.

It does not load any non-Apple extensions, so "works in Safe mode" but "not in regular mode" may indicate a conflict with non-Apple extensions.

If you would like a further analysis, run this little non-invasive Utility to discover more of what is going on inside your Mac:

User Tip: Using Etrecheck

.

• When a post is removed here, it is because a Host determines it is not in keeping with the Terms of Use. Its technical merit is NOT evaluated, and no Engineer from the appropriate development team has seen it before it is made inaccessible. There is no standard mechanism for elevating such posts to Engineering.

You are not furthering any case of anything when that happens.

• When you file a Bug Report, someone in Engineering is responsible for determining if it is Accurate, Unique, and ultimately Reproducible. If it is all of those, Engineers will take a hard look at it.

That is definitely preferable.

I'm not sure, and you may not want to, but as Sierra was a free update, I think it is available to everyone, whether they purchased it or not, I was able to download it to create a bootable USB at Christmas even though it did not show up in my downloads.

Try this link for the download, it may then update you to Sierra like a normal OS update.

How to download macOS Sierra - Apple Support

It will be more up to date and have later security patches at least.

If you are having graphics or other performance problems with a 2016 or 2017 MacBook Pro, your underlying issue has NOTHING to do with most posters on this thread. This thread is about Readers on OLDER Hardware left behind by the newest MacOS High Sierra versions, especially users of NVIDIA Graphics hardware.

--------

Please start a new thread and post your exact model of MacBook Pro and MacOS. Consider running this "visibility" Utility and posting its report as well:
